IN Brief:
- Mascot’s 4320 desktop power supply delivers up to 80W for medical, industrial, and professional equipment.
- The unit supports 90–264VAC input, fixed output versions, exchangeable DC plugs, and IEC 60601 certification.
- Certified external power supplies remain central to equipment designs that need global deployment, electrical safety, and predictable qualification paths.
Mascot has introduced the 4320 desktop power supply, a compact external power unit designed for medical, industrial, and professional electronics.
The 4320 delivers up to 80W and operates from a universal 90–264VAC input for use across global mains systems. Standard fixed output versions include 12V, 16V, 24V, 48V, and 64V, with a 5V version and other custom outputs available on request. The unit uses a 2-pin IEC 60320 input as standard, with 3-pin connectors or fixed mains cords available for specific requirements.
On the DC side, Mascot offers standard cord sets as well as exchangeable plug options for versions rated at 16V and above. The supply is short-circuit proof and can be customised across output voltage, connectors, cable sets, logo print, enclosure format, IP rating, and certification packages.
The device is medically certified to IEC 60601-1 edition 3.2 and meets IEC 60601-1-2 edition 4.1 EMC requirements. The product range also supports configurations for home healthcare environments, alongside compliance routes relevant to household, AV, and ICT applications. The 4320 is housed in a desktop enclosure measuring 172.5mm × 73mm × 42mm and weighs around 400g.
External power architecture remains a common route for equipment makers that need to simplify enclosure design, reduce internal thermal load, and manage certification across product variants. Moving AC/DC conversion outside the main equipment enclosure can reduce the internal high-voltage design burden, but it also places greater weight on the adapter’s leakage current performance, EMC behaviour, connector reliability, and long-term availability.
Medical and home healthcare approvals now reach well beyond traditional hospital equipment. Portable diagnostic systems, remote monitoring devices, treatment accessories, laboratory instruments, and clinical support equipment increasingly operate in homes, clinics, and mixed-use care settings. These environments expose electronics to variable mains quality, user handling, cable strain, and electromagnetic noise that must be addressed before the end product reaches approval.
The 4320’s output range covers several established system architectures. A 12V supply supports many embedded, display, control, and communications subsystems, while 24V remains a standard rail in industrial automation and control equipment. Higher-voltage 48V and 64V options give designers scope for downstream conversion, distributed power, longer cable runs, or systems where reducing current helps manage connector and cable losses.
Customisation also carries practical value in lower-volume medical and industrial designs. Off-the-shelf supplies often need cable, connector, label, or enclosure changes before they fit the final system. Locking these choices down early can reduce late-stage mechanical rework and avoid additional test loops after a product has already moved into qualification.
Mascot has made the 4320 available as part of its desktop power supply range, with accessories including wall-mount brackets, AC cords, exchangeable DC plugs, and push-on DC terminals.
